Description

When a HTML mail body can’t be loaded, this is displayed:

Error loading message
This email (16666) can't be found. Probably it was deleted from the server recently. Please reload.

Instead, we should show the same emptycontent view with the mail icon and the »There was an error loading the message :-\« – you know what I mean, generated smilies etc ;D @ChristophWurst @Gomez @irgendwie
